[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
well its not the baseband isssue since ur baseband is same as the one in the first post...

i think its best for u to wait for global generic FW... when that version gets posted send me the kernel.sin file then i will use ramdisk from that... lets see if it makes any difference...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
I flashed HK FW successfully. It is a bit pruned, phone setup has 7 pages instead of 8, no choice to disable camera sound.

Then I flashed your kernel. Display shows nothing, just the same problem as it was with German Generic FW.

I press power button and background lights up, but display remains totally black. Home button does get backlight turned on at the same time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
i think i know the solution to this.... will post a test kernel shortly which should work on any region FW...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
i use this kernel with generic german firmware without problems
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
My Neo came installed with Global Generic. Flashed German Generic via Wotanclient. Since HK FW works for me too then there must be something entirely else.

RETEST: on German Generic, not booting.

[NEO] DooMKernel (v02) (FW: 4.0.A.2.368)

ENJOY!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Nice bootloader image, rough ANDROID text, pixels can be seen. Still much better than seeing Sony Ericsson every time.

Wireless connection does not work with this kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
regarding WiFi... wht is the exact issue/problem/error...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Discard that.

It's was not your kernel's fault.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Running the device on this kernel for 3 hours now.

Compared to stock 4.0.A.2.368 kernel which I have spent days using and remember very clearly how it worked this kernel of yours has made everything on my Neo work faster. Everything is more responsive, programs load faster, work faster and smoother.

Everything... flies... is the best word to describe it.

Settings are the same - ondemand, deadline, 1024 GHz max, 245 MHz min.

No issues found so far. Going to test some continuous, heavy multimedia use, movies gaming and see how it will fare then. (note 3.0.1.A.0.145 hanged after watching movie, seems not to happen with stock 4.0.A.2.368 anymore)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
While uninstalling some bloatware with Titanium I got this message

Minor thing and more relevant to SU app though, just never saw this error before.

Anyway, all is fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] veimus:
Version 02 has added just the ability to overclock? No other changes in the functioning of the kernel? If yes - staying at the v.01 version ;)

btw. I knew that in your basket of candy I find something tasty for Neo:) thank you and send a mini donation ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
try newest Titanum Backup

THANK YOU!

yes v02 adds only overclock!

but please do test it so that i know its working properly... then i can update 1st post with the info/links...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
does this kernel support swapping? would be nice because of low memory the neo has...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
Hmm... Ok I will enable swap in kernel...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
That would be awesome addition!

CWM creates swap partition anytime you create new ext2 partition with it. So would make sense if kernel would enable seeing that it actually exists on your sdcard. This kind of swap is but complimentary to ext2.

Then it's only to find out how to create independent swap bigger than 256 Mb and how to put it into use as extra memory... if that can be done.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
is it possible to swap to /cache/.... there is many unused space and it is available even if sdcard isn't mounted ;-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
that can be acheived using runtime scripts... i will enable it in kernel...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] veimus:
Can you add an option "Reboot into recovery" to power menu? If that is independent of the kernel if you know how to do this in the power options menu?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] veimus:
i am noob :P I had a problem, but resulted with the my fault. Now its ok ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
i have not used ROM manager but i am guessing that is is searching for recovery in /recovery partition.... on Xperia 2011 devices we have recovery in /boot so that why it might not be recognizing it...

by default the system will stick to 245Mhz-1ghz if u want to under/overclock u need to use cpu freq. control apps like SetCPU/NoFrills
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] babygau:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
When I use FreeXperia CWM to boot into recovery like here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1183465 then I can partion SD card.

If I boot into recovery mode which you have added to your kernel then there is no option to partition SD card.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
wht is the CWM version in that recovery? (it will be in title of recovery menu)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Same, v4.0.0.5

"Partition SD card" option is in Advanced, between "Key Test" and "Fix Permissions" if booting from recoveryNeo.img

Noticed that recovery along with your kernel does not have "Fix Permissions" either.

Also previously created ext2 partition on SDcard via recoveryNeo.img is put in /sd-ext after flashing your kernel. It is mounted and I can put stuff in there but no app finds it that would use second SD card partition, Link2SD for example. Usually I have seen ext2 partition go to /mnt/sd-ext and there it can be found. Must be that the rest of the stock ROM does not managed ext2 partitions really well. For example I create second ext2 manually via Minitool Partition Wizard and it is not shown as mount point anywhere yet Link2SD is able to at least find it, but not use it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
THANK YOU! this info is really useful!

i was planning to integrate new 4.0.1.4 CWM (from latest FXP release) but that doesnt have these options u talking abt... i will see wht can be done to add max possible features..

abt the ext2 partitions... i can create symlinks in ramdisk so that /sd-ext is linked to /mnt/sd-ext if that helps...

may be i will create a test kernel to check if these features allow something useful for users...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
I know that linux does add all partitions to /mnt always, beside /dev/mtd and wherever else.

If apps expect for partition to be under /mnt/ then it would be really helpful if all appear under /mnt...

Actually what Android needs is fdisk to manage partitions onboard(going to look into it).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
there are many applets in busybox binary check that...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Great, I found it.

Tested busybox availability with Linux Installer app(from market) by switching it to use native system busybox rather than embedded. It can't find any busybox applets on my system. I have to install busybox from market. Yet terminal emulator is capable of finding native busybox. Wonder why is that so?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
busybox is already installed in /sbin/ which is already in the android PATH variable... some apps try to search for it in /system/bin OR /system/xbin
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:

[NEO] DooMKernel (v03) (FW: 4.0.A.2.368)

please test if it boots, wifi, camera, recovery (backup/restore/installing update.zip), check if swap works, check if the ext2/3 fs mount

please take backup using older kernel (which has old recovery) before using/testing this new kernel...

ENJOY!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
cool thanks!!!

as far as i know you can get a swap partition using mini partition tool awesome tool (http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html)

i will try it tomorrow morning
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Noticed that busybox version is 1.16.2androidminimal.

Swap is clearly supported and functional, tested with Swapper 2.

sd-ext does appear under /mnt/

All seems to work good. I have not got to testing mounting iso file.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] froce:
SWAP works.

/sd-ext also symlinked to /mnt/sd-ext

This tweak works.

I try to mount ext2 partition to /mnt/sd-ext manually.

It works and be linked to /sd-ext.

But the ext2 partition still can't auto mount to /mnt/sd-ext.

link2SD still can't work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Many thanks for restoring SD card partitioning ability to CWM, it is an important recovery tool. I have ext2 created with recoveriNeo.IMG when I had previous FW. Strange is that this partition does not show up in partition table, but gets automounted with this kernel. Newly created ext2/3/swap partitions but do not get automounted.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
Since not all users have ext2/3/swap partitions I have not hardcoded automounting... if u want to specificlly automount certain partitions u can use a shell script to do mounting and put it in /system/etc/init.d/ folder so that it will get executed at each bootup... but I dont know exactly whts the code for it... u can ask the user (svprm) in Arc subforums who has that app2sd thread ....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
Swap ext wifi oc and everything else works, not sure anymore if i will change to cyanogen mod i dint wanna loose this awesome kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
the new recovery has "Fix Permissions" & "Partition SD card" feature (WARNING THIS CAN DAMAGE UR SDCARD IF NOT USED CORRECTLY/PEROPERLY) [make sure you make a complete backup of your sd card before you create a partition! This process may wipe the card completely]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
I partitioned my sd with cwm a swap and an ext worked great
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
can someone provide an about phone screenshot? so that i can update 1st post
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
uploaded from phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
thanks!

updated 1st post
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] froce:
I make a simple fix script for link2SD.

Copy the folder "init.d" to /system/etc.

Make the permission of the folder like any other folder in /system/etc.

(chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d)

And make the file (00link2sdfix) which in "init.d" folder can be executed.

(chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/00link2sdfix)

Reboot and if you have a 2nd partition.

It should be mounted to /data/sdext2.

Now you can enjoy link2sd.

Sorry for my poor English.

Can someone make a zip for CWM recovery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
thanks... did u test it out urself? also u can use the in built busybox in kernel from:

#!/sbin/sh

do test out and let me know if it works
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
guys can u verify if u are able to take and restore backups using this new recovery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] froce:
I have tested the script on my Xperia neo.

I already have test the 2nd partitiion is ext2/3 and have a 3rd partition for SWAP.

It works.

When you have only one partition,the script won't do any thing.

Some condition still not be tested.

Like the 2nd partitiion is fat/ext4...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
So that is how to make this kind of script. Modified it, making it mount into /mnt. It works. This init.d script support(along with all other features) makes DooMKernel to be closer to full fledged Linux kernel, like it actually should be.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
hey can u verify if u are able to take and restore backups using this new recovery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Because it does not break anything I can use my phone for next 10 hours. :D

Here's what it did.

Backed up: system, data, .android_secure, cache

No sd-ext found, skipping... This is curious, it was created by me using recoveryNeo.img and your kernel automounts it just like /sdcard. fdisk doesn't show it as existing. Rather strange.

Generated md5 sum

Restoring

Restored system

Error unmounting data

E: format_volume failed to unmount "/data" And it quits here.

I am unable to unmount /data from mounting and formatting menu.

Wipe data/factory reset fails to unmount and format /data too. Continues wiping /cache, /sd-ext(successfully wiped files on it), /sdcard/.android_secure.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
the /data mounting errors are expected cause on Arc we had same problem:

Alright, that's cool then.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] funkyblue04:
Thanks Works here. I could not restore a backup though. "Could not mount /data". CPU overclocking works fine. Pity it drains the battery.

is it possible to unlock higher clocks ?? my neo runs solid rock stable at highest clock (1.86) i just like to know how far it could go .... :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
yes MSM8255 chips are known to go as high as 2Ghz (some DHD kernels have that)... but i would not recommend anything beyond 1.4Ghz for daily use...

u will risk frying ur chip... also at those high speeds there is a high chance of kernel not even booting on some devices :P

and i see that from 1401600 and above the voltage is raised ....

if we dont recomend more then 1,4ghz for daily use can you compile a kernel with 1.2volt for all frequencies ?

i.e. if its stable at 1.6ghz with 1.2volt then i dont have prob to use it 24/7

btw. what voltage is used for 1.86ghz at the moment ???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
I think it's best to keep things safe. Too much of a too good thing will not end well ;) 1,8 GHz is quite something already, 2 GHz is just 200 Mhz more. That's really no big gain but a lot of trouble to make it happen, for sure. CPU might hang on boot with 2GHz, not just because of voltage but it's architecture is not made to handle this speed.

camera problem with the latest v3 kernel

Hi :) First - thanks and great job! I just tried the latest kernel with FW 4.XX. I noticed that when I try to use the camera - there is no image on the screen and nothing works - the only option was to power off and reboot the phone. As a side note - when I press the home hardware button it doesn't bring me to the home screen. The home button works to wake up the phone from standby. The menu and back buttons work just fine. I flashed the kernel over rooted stock FW 4.XX. I wonder if someone else have similar experience ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
No. Camera works fine for me.

Home button works as intended.

Which region FW you have and do you have MT15i/a/..? What is your baseband version?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
hey are u facing the same problem stated here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16528200&postcount=90
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sabrewolf_rex:
baseband - 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-20302204-36

MT15i - I downgraded the 2.3.3 to 2.3.2 central EU - gingerbreak - OTA to fw 4.x and after that I flashed with this kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sabrewolf_rex:
I also seem to have problem with the usb. I can charge it and flash it via USB - but I don't get any notification when I connect it while it's running - even if I manually set the connection mode - mass storage - it still doesn't get detected on my pc. on top of all that - the phone doesn't seem to get locked :) I guess another flash will follow tomorrow ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
I would recommend wiping all userdata/doing factory reset. Backup before ofc your apps if you want. Try camera then.

You flashed the HK version of 4.0.A with flashtool, or how did you got it?

I flashed 4.0.A with Wotanserver, it wipes everything and then flashes. Not a single problem with this method.

It works.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] funkyblue04:
Works here. Even managed to install Cyanogenmod from update.zip...Though it restarts the phone in a loop. Restore does not work. Say it is complete but phone is reset to default. Frustrating.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] funkyblue04:
Nope. Restore does not work here. Phone stuck in reboot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
CM7 will require its own kernel... and as far as can remember it works on older 3.0 FW/baseband...

are u sure restore doesnt work?

"Say it is complete but phone is reset to default." << i didnt follow?

can someone please recheck this? i dont have device to test...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] funkyblue04:
It seems the backup was not complete, even though it said it was. But when I rebooted the phone it has reset to default settings and data. In the backup from today data.img is only 50meg. I could not restore a back from yeserday either. Phone just gets stuck in a boot loop.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] funkyblue04:
OK Cyanogenmod is working..I wiped phone, installed it with your recovery and then flashed the cyan boot...Won't stay with it though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DooMLoRD:
hmm... and u didnt get this/similar problem on v03?

also regarding bootloop... try wiping cache/dalvik cache... if that doesnt work try a factory reset (will wipe /data /cache & dalvik-cache)[it might even wipe /sdcard/.android_secure]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] funkyblue04:
I could only backup but not restore with v03. I did wipe the caches/whole phone but cannot restore that backup.

funkyblue04 thanks for reporting...

now we need some more users to verify these issues...

i want to pinpoint wht is causing this problem...

also i want to know if this problem (if reproduced by other users of the device) is related to new recovery which was introduced? or was this issue prevalent even in older recovery?
